Books You Should Have

EDUCATION

By MRS. E. G. WHITE

“True education,” says the writer, “means more than the perusal of a certain course of study.” This becomes the more apparent as one reads this excellent work entitled “Education.” Its thirty-five chapters treat on a variety of phases of Christian instruction, and bring out clearly many important points for both teacher and student. For parents, also, it contains valuable instruction. The book has 321 pages, and is handsomely bound in cloth. Price, post-paid, $1.25.

OUR PARADISE HOME

By S. H. LANE

There are few people indeed who have a tangible conception of the millennium, the judgment, and the new earth. Many use the terms frequently, but not understandingly. Volumes have been written on each subject, but if there was one thing especially lacking in Adventist literature before “Our Paradise Home” appeared, it was a book treating these subjects thoroughly and plainly in small compass. One of the best things about this book is its compactness. It contains only 128 pages and seventeen short chapters, but it covers the whole gospel of creation and presents with special clearness the picture of the new earth. Attractively illustrated. Prices: In board, 25 cents; cloth, 50 cents; presentation edition, 75 cents.

A MAN OF VALOR

By ARTHUR W. SPAULDING

One fails to appreciate the lessons that are taught by the life of that friend of David, Jonathan, until he has read “A Man of Valor.” This book, by the way, was written especially for the youth, and it certainly hits the mark, for a more attractive book for young people could scarcely be provided. Boys and girls are not likely to leave this book unread very long once it is placed in their hands. Though closely following the Bible story, it is as interesting as any work of fiction. Twelve handsome full-page illustrations add to the beauty of the volume. Price, 75 cents.

Is Your Girl or Boy Earning a Scholarship?

Parents! do not get the idea that it is only exceptionally bright or clever young people who have succeeded in earning scholarships through work with our books and periodicals. Nothing could be farther from the truth, for the majority of those who have taken up the work have had no experience to speak of until they started in under the special scholarship plan we have devised.

There have been so few failures that they are not worth mentioning. If your boy or girl wants to earn a scholarship, the periodical and book work may be looked upon as a sure way of doing so.

Send for our pamphlet explaining the plan, and telling how others have earned their way through school or college by selling LIFE AND HEALTH, the Temperance INSTRUCTOR, LIBERTY, the PROTESTANT MAGAZINE, etc. Write to-day.

With the Workers

“Our town is a small place, and I try to canvass it once each month, but sometimes on account of bad weather I can not make it. I can only go out on pleasant days, as I have to use crutches. I live ten miles in the country, and I come into town a few days at a time and work with the magazines. A number are taking them regularly, and are pleased with them. I find the health question appeals to the people where it would be hard to interest them in other subjects of the third angel’s message. My earnest desire is to awaken an interest in eternal things. In making my rounds I have found there are some calls for our sanitarium health foods, so I have taken the agency and take orders as I sell the magazines. I order the foods each month, and find a number who are beginning to use them.”

The above is still another of the many testimonials that come to us to the effect that people are interested in LIFE AND HEALTH to the extent of patronizing the regular workers month by month, as they bring the papers around to them. It also demonstrates that the periodical business is sufficient to support an individual even in small places. LIFE AND HEALTH sales open the way for many other opportunities. If a lame person can do the work noticed in the above testimonial, what stands in the way of strong-bodied people engaging in this same line of work?

The results of the circulation of the Thanksgiving issue of the REVIEW can not be estimated by the amount of money received, for there are values far above this, one is apt to overlook. The evangelical feature of the missionary effort possesses greater possibilities than the financial returns. We have just received a subscription for the REVIEW and PROTESTANT MAGAZINE for one year from a Methodist minister who became interested through reading the Thanksgiving number of the REVIEW. This is only one case. Many others have been brought to our attention.

We are constantly receiving requests from individuals throughout the United States for the first copies of the PROTESTANT MAGAZINE. Those who have received single copies are so favorably impressed with its contents that they want everything that has been written before on the same subjects contained in that number. They are very particular to specify each issue of the PROTESTANT since it began to be published. This demonstrates the general public interest in the special matter contained in the PROTESTANT MAGAZINE. This ought to be an encouragement for our people to take up the sale of this magazine. Regular subscription price, 25 cents a year; 50 or more, 4 cents; less than 50, 5 cents each.

“I have just seen a copy of the Temperance number of the YOUTH’S INSTRUCTOR,” writes one of our friends, “and I am sure I am not saying too much when I assert that it is the best paper that has ever been published on this great question. We are planning to make a strong campaign with it. We shall do our best to get it into the possession of the public.”

The following comes from Somabula Mission, Gwelo, Rhodesia, South Africa: “Two weeks ago I received the first copy of CHRISTIAN EDUCATION. I wish to express my appreciation of it. One can scarcely imagine what a source of help such a journal is to a mission teacher. Here we are miles from any one with whom we can converse on the best methods to use, or anything on those lines, and it comes full of the helpful thoughts from those who have the direction of educational work of the denomination. Needless to say that before the week was over, I had read the paper through and appropriated many of the ideas to my own work.”
